Willie Wants Work

My name is Willie Conlon; I’m looking for some work.

I used to be a manager but the company, they shut up.

I loved my job but they’re no longer around,

Now I just can’t find work anywhere, so I wear a little frown. 

I apply for jobs, no word do I hear,

I may never get work, this is my great fear!

“There’s loads of work out there”, I’m hearing people say.

Well my dear people, please send this work my way. 

So, one day I got to thinking,

(Thinking right outside the box!).

That if I’m going to find some work real soon,

I have to be as cute as a fox.
 

Employers are getting hundreds of forms for really not many jobs,

They don’t have time to review them all so some they just get lobbed!

The forms, they are all stacking up; the CV’s, they are too,

And I think, because of this, I’m being missed by you! 

I need to stand out from the crowd,

I need to shout out loud.

I’m here! Come get me!

In OUR Company I’ll be proud!

So, let’s throw out the cliché’s, I’ll be innovative and motivate,

They’re just words after all, and they don’t even sound great.

I’m dynamic and results-orientated, going forward you will see,

These buzz words are just a waste of time, not just for you, but for me! 

So this is what you’ll get if you take a punt on me,

I’m a normal Joe Soap but I work hard and am honest, try me and you’ll see.

I like to smile, I like a laugh but when I get right in that zone,

The task will be done and you will see that I can be left on my own. 

I can use Microsoft Office; in fact I’m using Word right now,

I’d go as far as to say I Excel and achieve success.

Just sit me near a Power Point,

And get me cracking on Access.  

I can talk for Ireland, of that there is no doubt,

In fact sometimes I talk so much you may just have to shout.

So, to all potential employers, go on, take a punt on me,

I’m the man for any job, that you will soon see. 

You’ll find me on the Twitter machine,

You only need to look.

It really is quite easy,
